Playing Guitar For Beginners – The Plan Man

Plan Your Journey

Well you’ve been playing for a year or so now I’m assuming. And you have come along way. I might even say maybe you’ve become so good that you believe your the next big up and coming rockstar on the planet.

Be Prepared To Succeed

To make the case for this thought your family and friends have told you so as well. And I do hope that you’ve gotten that good, but keep in mind you have a long way to go first.

So I want to elude to the two pics on the the right and give you your first tips of the day. Like those images on the right, depicting getting close to where your going you tend to believe that the journey is within your grasps.

Your friends and family aren’t the ones to listen to about how good you are! In most cases they will just be lying to you anyway so you don’t feel bad.

Don’t strive to be a Rockstar, instead be a musician first and foremost, then be a working musician.

The industry doesn’t scout for guitar gods, and they don’t care how good you think you are. If you don’t have the whole package then you’ve got nothing.

Have a Plan Dawg! – Then Work It

Main Tool

To quote some famous lyrics: Relationships! We all have them, we all want them. The problem is what do we do with them? This is something you will have to work out for yourself. The two pics are just reminders of the basics you need to work your plan.

I’m sure you can understand the guitar but your saying to yourself whats up with the suit case? Well some travel is going to have to be considered as part of your plan. And the image should suggest to you that it would be of the best interest to you to be very mobile. But heres what I do have to say on that

Establish yourself in your local area first as a player. Play everywhere you can whether its paid or not, just keep playing and get well know as you can for the sole purpose of establishing yourself.

When the time presents its self be prepared to play in your surrounding towns.

Keep This Packed

Learn to play more than one style of music. As lame as it sounds most people don’t give a rip about the music you like, they want to hear what they like. Thought I’d just put a stick in your wheel there brotha.
